We were shown yesterday by Mr.. John

airy days. 1t has been in the possession OF
Mr.. Brsz!el's family for generations.
One OF his ancestors fought, bled and
died during that time, and on his body,
among other effects, was found the note,
which then could purchase 8 gallon of
liquor, pound Of tobacco, half niger
and small assortments of most every
thing else except tea, of which oupsfore-
fathers appeared to be particulsrlyfond,
as tax on that beverage which cheers,
but does not inebriate, precipitatea the
struggle.

HOW EASY IT Is.

How easy 1t is to spoil a dayl
The thoughtless words ofeherlshed friends,
The selfish act Of child at play,
The strength Oh will that will not bend,
The slight 0f o comrade, the scorn Of foe,
the smile that is full OF bitter things
They oil can tarnish its golden glow
And take the grace from Its airy wings.
How easy II ID TO spoil day
BY the force Of thought we did not checkl
Little BY little we mold the clay,
And little flaws may the vessel wreck,
The careless waste Of awhite.winged hour
That heldthe blessings we long had sought,
The sudden loss Of wealth or power
And lei the day iswish III inwrought.
Row easy 1t is to spoil life
And many are spoiled ere well begun
IN some life darkened BY sin and strife,
Or downward course Of cherished one;
BY toll that robs the form OF It's grace,
And undermines till health gives wayi
BY the peeyiBh temper, the frowning face,
The hopes that go and the cares that stay.
A day Is too long to be spent in vain;
Some good should come as the hours 60 by,
Some tangled maze maybe more plain,
Some lowered glance may be raised on high
And life Is too short TO spoil like this.
II only prelude It may be sweet
Let US bind together its thread Of bliss
And nourish the flowers around our feet.
